VALORANT Agent-Specific Keybinds: How to Set Different Controls for Each Agent — 2021 Documentation [S1]
To get started with VALORANT agent specific keybinds, Riot’s documented menu path is Settings > Controls > Actions, as of December 2021. [S1] Riot confirms that you can set different keybinds for each agent. [S1]
The documented feature includes creating, deleting, and searching for agent keybind profiles. [S2] You cannot create more than one profile per agent. [S2] If your goal is to give an agent a different control layout, this is the documented feature to look for rather than relying on an example layout from another player.
This guide follows Riot’s original documentation as of December 2021. [S1] It is not a walkthrough verified against the current client. Treat the menu path below as the documented starting point, not a promise that every present-day button or label looks exactly the same.
Where to Start an Agent Keybind Profile
As of December 2021, Riot directs players to Settings > Controls > Actions to begin configuring agent-specific keybinds. [S1] Start with that path when looking for the feature.
- Open Settings, following Riot’s documented starting point. [S1]
- Go to Controls, then Actions, using the documented menu path. [S1]
- Look for the agent keybind profile controls; Riot documents the ability to create and search for profiles. [S2]
Before making changes, decide which agent you want to work on and which controls you want to reconsider. Keep the task narrow: this guide concerns agent keybind profiles, not a complete overhaul of your settings.
The supplied documentation does not show the complete profile-creation screen. For that reason, this guide does not invent a button name, confirmation prompt, or save sequence. If the interface differs from the documented path, check the labels you can actually see rather than following an assumed sequence of clicks.
Understand the Profile Limit Before Planning Layouts
As of December 2021, Riot documents a limit of one keybind profile per agent. [S2] Plan your agent’s layout around that restriction instead of expecting several named profiles for the same agent.
Riot also documents the ability to search for agent keybind profiles. [S2] When reviewing an existing setup, look for the relevant profile before trying to create another.
A useful planning approach is to write down what you want to change and why. For example, describe your goal in plain language rather than choosing keys immediately. Keep that note separate from any claims about what the game supports.
The available source confirms different keybinds for each agent, but it does not provide a complete list of eligible actions. [S1] This guide therefore does not claim that every control can be customized separately, or recommend particular ability keys as a universal layout.
Copying Defaults, Deleting Profiles, and Resetting
As of December 2021, Riot’s supplied documentation mentions an option to copy your default keybindings. [S3] However, the supplied excerpt ends before the full explanation. It is not enough to establish the exact destination, button sequence, or behavior after later changes to your defaults.
Profile deletion is explicitly documented. [S3] A separate reset procedure is not established by the supplied evidence, so do not treat “delete” and “reset” as interchangeable instructions in this guide.
Before removing a profile, consider keeping a personal note of the bindings you want to remember. This is a precautionary suggestion, not a claim that VALORANT provides an export, backup, or recovery feature.
Likewise, avoid assuming that changing default controls will automatically update an existing agent profile. The available excerpt does not establish that relationship. Check the controls shown in your client before relying on any inheritance behavior.
Keep Your Settings Research Focused
Use this article for the documented menu path and profile-management limits. For anything beyond that scope, seek documentation that specifically explains the action you want to change. Avoid filling missing details with guessed key assignments or unsupported reset instructions.
